Chapter 42: Crazy Attentiveness
"I really don't have any other intentions. I just want to go see grandma. If it's really inconvenient, then I won't go. I'll visit her when she's discharged from the hospital another day." Lin Pinyan looked helpless.
Huo Juncheng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then you go back."
go back?
Lin Pinyan never thought that she had made careful preparations and wanted to persuade Huo Juncheng with both emotional and logical appeals.
Not only did he not appreciate it, he also told me to go back!
Lin Pinyan suppressed the anger in her heart, but still put on a smiling face: "Then Mr. Huo, please take good care of yourself."
Before leaving, Lin Pinyan turned around again and looked at Huo Juncheng with a serious face. "But I don't think this matter is that simple. This is the first time a restaurant near our school has had food poisoning. You must thoroughly investigate and find out who is secretly trying to murder Grandma!"
Huo Juncheng hummed without even raising his head.
Probably because what you can’t get is the best?
Huo Juncheng's indifferent attitude towards Lin Pinyan made Lin Pinyan fall in love with him like a possessed person to the point of being unable to extricate herself!
Lin Yilan consulted several of the Huo family's old servants at the Huo family, as she felt guilty.
I want to do something to make it up to Grandma Huo. If I say that it is something I bought, it will not only show my lack of sincerity, but also the Huo family has no shortage of things that can be bought with money.
"Madam, you should put down the pot and let us do it. It's all the same. As long as the old lady knows it was you who did it and knows your intentions, that's enough!" The servant saw that Lin Yilan was not just talking, but actually chopping the chicken with a kitchen knife.
Everyone was so terrified that they said all the nice things they could, and the old hen in Lin Yilan's hand had been chopped into small pieces.
"I'm just not very good at cooking. I used to live a life of mediocrity in the mountains. As long as I can eat my fill, that's enough. I'm not the kind of girl whose weak hands can't lift anything. You just need to teach me how to cook." Lin Yilan smiled and put the chicken on the chopping board in front of her into the basin of water.
Four or five people gathered around Lin Yilan, but she insisted on doing even small things like cutting ginger slices by herself.
The more advanced the food, the simpler the production process is.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang told Lin Yilan that she only needed to put the ginger and chicken together in a purple clay pot and simmer on low heat for two and a half hours.
Lin Yilan wondered if she thought she couldn't make it herself, so she taught her such a simple method. But could the result be considered delicious? Would it taste good?
But when she lifted the lid of the pot, the fragrant smell of chicken soup spread throughout the kitchen.
"It smells so good! So stewing soup is so simple? Thank you so much!" Lin Yilan was so excited that she took the purple clay pot off the gas and even forgot to turn off the fire.
There was a sound of "ah hey hey" behind them, and everyone watched eagerly as Lin Yilan took the purple clay pot off the fire with her bare hands.
"Madam, your hand must be hurting. I'll get you some burn medicine right away!"
"Hurry up, put your hands in this ice water first, Madam!"
Lin Yilan burst out laughing at everyone's exaggerated reaction.
"My hand is fine, I don't feel anything. For people like us who practice martial arts, you don't have to worry about me." Lin Yilan said as she poured the soup in the pot into the lunch box.
Everyone stared at her with their eyes wide open. Her hand was perfectly fine, and her face looked calm when she was holding the pot just now!
"After all, we are all mortal! Madam, if you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up immediately. You are still young, and what will you do if you get a scar on your hand?"
The servants gathered around Lin Yilan, and their meticulous attitude made her extremely uncomfortable.
So after Lin Yilan packed the chicken soup, she rushed straight to the hospital.
It just so happened that Zheng Ronglan had just walked out of Huo Juncheng's ward and bumped into Lin Yilan.
"It smells so good, sister-in-law, my dear sister-in-law, you must have prepared some secret dish for him, and I happen to be here. You don't mind letting me enjoy it too, right?" Zheng Ronglan took the lunch box from Lin Yilan's hand with a sly smile on his face.
Huo Juncheng, who was sitting on the sofa looking at the information, couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Has this silly girl finally come to her senses?
Will you also learn to please others?
However, before Zheng Ronglan could open the lunch box, Lin Yilan stopped him: "Don't open it, don't touch it, neither of you are allowed to eat it, this is the chicken soup I made for grandma!"
Grandma's chicken soup?
Huo Juncheng's face immediately fell.
"Give it to me." Huo Juncheng rolled his eyes at Zheng Ronglan.
Zheng Ronglan dared not disobey.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"The meals for grandma are prepared by the nutritionist at home. Besides, how do you know what grandma can eat now? She is so old and can't stand the hardship anymore. Leave the chicken soup here." Huo Juncheng criticized Lin Yilan mercilessly.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng with grievance. She hesitated for a long time before she said unwillingly, "This is the chicken soup I've been stewing for a long time. What's more, I've tasted it myself. The aunts at home watched me make it. There's absolutely no problem! This is a little gift I wanted to give to grandma..."
She originally really thought that Huo Juncheng was worried about her grandmother's health and worried that the food she cooked was not suitable. When she saw Huo Juncheng open the lunch box, scoop out the chicken soup and take a sip.
At that time, Lin Yilan finally understood everything!
"Shut up! You're a big CEO, but you're a liar! Didn't you say you couldn't give it to me because you were worried about me? What's the point of you drinking it? This is a gift from me to you!" Lin Yilan said, and ran quickly to Huo Juncheng's side.
Huo Juncheng has long been psychologically traumatized by his anger towards Lin Yilan!
When he saw Lin Yilan standing in front of him, his mind was in a mess.
He picked up the chicken soup and drank it all in one gulp, then put the empty bowl on the table.
Lin Yilan was so angry that she grabbed Huo Juncheng's jaw, but she didn't dare to use force. She angrily scolded him, "I told you that I prepared it for grandma. Grandma was not feeling well and was in the hospital. How could you be like this!"
"I've always said that when dogs die in this world, no couple is innocent! Huo Juncheng, is it so difficult for you to admit that you want to drink the chicken soup stewed by your sister-in-law and you don't want to give it to your grandmother?" Zheng Ronglan frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him.
They are like two underage children.
After hearing what Zheng Ronglan said, Lin Yilan's face flushed.
She loosened the hand that was tightly gripping Huo Juncheng's jaw. Although she tried hard to control her internal strength and not use too much force, Huo Juncheng still felt the unbearable pain in his chin.
"If you really want to drink it, just tell me and I'll stew some more for you." Lin Yilan turned her head away and muttered softly.
